Visualization of an aorto-ostial stenting procedure using the float-moor-crush technique. The treating doctor chose to float a 3.5-mm coronary catheter towards the ostium stent. Subselective engagement of the vein graft shows the collapsed ostium stent (marked as = = =) at the mid-segment, visible as an hourglass aspect, and the mooring stage of the procedure (A). After predilatation of the strut, a stent (====) was delivered and postdilated crushing the protruding stent at the aorto-ostial side; the crushing phase of the technique (B). The crushed twin stent is visible as it points at an 80-degree angle of the new channel (C).
